The wires are backwards. The light is suppose to come on when the door is open. There are instructions on the web, you just have to put a little effort into it. "www.homecontrols.com/Lee-Electric-Door-Switch"

Albert, this is a reverse switch, your descriptions says, when door is closed, light comes on! This switch is meant to come on when door is open. As for wiring, you have a hot wire come down to switch, and the other wire goes out to light as the hot "black" wire. The way that I wired mine, black and white come into light, white to white on the light, black travels down to switch, another hot from switch back to black on light. Switch itself works perfect.

I used the switch to switch my walk-in closet light "on" when I open door. It has to be wired like any light switch.Do not remember if it was SPDT.If it is not the above you will need to order a switch which will be " on" when door is closed.

I used this switch to replace an existing one. If your wiring is already in the door frame, just install the switch in the door frame. It activates when you open the door, disconnects when you shut the door. If you want one to do the opposite, you will have to find a different type of switch.

attach line and load HOT wires to the pigtail wires on the switch, (note this switch is light on when door is open)

Albert, the switch is a spring loaded button that goes in the door jam above the hinge, or on the closing side of a sliding door. The switch, in the natural position with the door open and plunger extended, will turn the light on. When you close the door, it will press the switch and disconnect the circuit. I will give you some heads-up advice - if you have a solid wood frame and are doing this as an addition to a swinging door, you will have to cut a large chunk out of the 2x4 frame so the switch will fit. I installed this on three closets. It's an awesome little device, but just prepared to tear in that corner of the door, make a little mess, and do some patch-up work. If you want the switch to turn the light on when the door is closed, rather than when the door is open, you will be better off buying the correct switch. There is no way to reverse the function of the switch.

It's a tilt. When the door i open (sensor flat) it blinks red for open. When door is down (sensor up and down) it blinks green for closed.

Looking at a similar question on this item (http://amzn.to/1IdMKuT) it appears that the fan switch is NOT the same as the light switch. The light turns on when the door is open but the fan turns off when the door is open.

The light shuts off by itself and comes on by itself when there is movement. There is a high and low intensity switch. Hope it helps.

It goes by sound normally but what I did is wire it to my door light which wasn't very hard. Its basically a speaker wire. I didn't want any music stuff or anything like that. I just wanted it to come on when I opened the door.

You don't have it wired correctly. The open door is triggering the dome light (power draw) and shutting off the Remote Start unit.

If you use the light without opening the door it will stay on until you press it again but;if you open the garage door it will turn itself off. Hope this helps

I have experienced the same thing. The blue switch mentioned in Mgg1978 works in a similar function to a circuit breaker. Christopher Covington's post is spot on. I removed the door, check the switch, replaced the door & have not experienced this problem since.

The light is turned on and off via a mechanical switch, which comes with the package and permanently wired to the light set. The switch needs to be installed at a location inside the closet (typically on the door frame) so that when the door is closed the door can properly strike and press the spring button of the switch which opens the circuit and thus turns off the light . Other notes: I simply use a 9 ft extension cable and ran thru the gap between the bottom of door and floor to provide power; for a safety reason I also use a low temperature/high efficacy 40 w light bulb inside the closet.

Most openers I have seen have at least 4 wire leads, 2 of them turn the motor on. the other 2 leads turn the light in and off with the wall switch. look at the wiring diagram of the opener to find out which ones control the opening operation of the door. Remove the other 2. try the door opener. The light should go on even if the 2 leads from the wall switch are not connected. Therefore, the light should also work when you are using the new remote you bought. I'm not sure, but I think the wires from the wall switch are not connected to the correct terminals in the opener.

When the magnet and contact are positioned together they make a normaly closed loop circuit. That is the way most alarm contacts work. This is opposite for what you are needing. Try mounting a normaly closed button switch to the back area of the closed drawer. This would push the switch button into an opened state. When you opened the drawer the button would be released allowing the switch contacts to return to their closed state and Allowing voltage to flow to your light

You are correct. I have had mine and it did the same thing. Pushing the reset and timer button and the light went out. I cant find my manual. Thank You!

My electrician setup 2 switches - I wish I knew how he did it. One wall switch will force the lamp on or off. The other allows it to stay in "security lamp" mode, so it only lights up when motion triggers the sensor.

well, to be honest with you I don't think it is supposed to. I started out leaving my light switch in the on position all the time and it seemed like the darn thing never shut off! So I went back to just turning it on when the dog goes outside to do his duty and then turning the light switch off again. I am disappointed but will make do I guess.

The switch is (no) when there is no magnet present. With a magnet this switch will be closed until you open the door. This ringing the bell when the door is opened. Hope that help you.

Mary, The on/off switch is on the back of the light hood. This should be indicated in the material that came with your light.

I know im WAY behind yall, but that was the fix for mine, i just cut a small piece of plastic and stuffed it on top of that "door closed" switch inside the batery compartment and now when i shut the door, the switch is pressed... all fixed!!
